Arshdeep Singh pips Pakistan’s Babar Azam, Australia’s Travis Head to be named as ICC Men’s T20I Cricketer of the Year

Left-arm Indian pacer Arshdeep Singh, who played a crucial role in India’s T20 World Cup 2024 triumph, was on Saturday named ICC Men’s T20I Cricketer of the Year 2024. The India pacer thus pipped Pakistan’s Babar Azam, Australian Travis Head and Zimbabwe’s Sikander Raza to pocket the prestigious award. 

The 25-year-old took 36 wickets in 18 matches in 2024, thus cementing his reputation as one of the leading short format bowlers in the game. He was also named in the ICC T20I Team of the Year 2024 earlier in the day, along side Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah and Hardik Pandya.
